Chapter 8
Luna stared in shock at the Autobots before she exploded. She began to struggle and tried to take to the air, but was snatched out of it by Scavenger. Then she started to bite and claw at his fingers as he struggled to keep a hold on her while she continued to wriggle around in his hands. Finally Luna was able to tense her muscles enough where her spikes came out of her rings and right into Scavenger's fingers making him cry out and drop her as energon flowed freely from his newly acquiredwounds.
Luna was flapping her wings as fast as she could and was taking off into a corridor when she was grabbed again by Red Alert, weary of her spikes, claws, and teeth.
"Buzzsaw! Help!" she screamed as Buzzsaw latched himself onto Red Alert's hands and set off an electric charge making him loose all control of his hands allowing Luna to wriggle free.
"Luna, what do we do?" asked Buzzsaw as they backed up from the transformers starting to close in on them.
"We try to get as far away from here as possible, that's what we do!" Luna screamed as she and Buzzsaw turned to run down the originalhallway again when they were scooped up into a cage by Smokescream. Luna was starting to panic as was Buzzsaw and they started to attack the bars trying their best to get to freedom, but failing miserably.
"LET US GO!! SCAVENGER YOU TRAITOR, I TRUSTED YOU! BETRAYER! LIAR! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE I SWEAR TO MOTHER MOON THAT THE BEST MEDICS IN THE UNIVERSE WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT YOU BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!" she screamed in furry as she and Buzzsaw continued to try and escape that she didn't even think of where she had heard of the woman she had just called out to.
Finally she and Buzzsaw could do little more than pace their cage as they watched the Autobots looking at them in fascination, making Luna feel as if she was on display at a zoo somewhere and not a human being.
"What have I done?" Scavenger asked himself as he held his hands watching Luna and Buzzsaw pace their cage. He had known that it had taken him a long time to gain her full trust and he had just shattered all of it by bringing her here and hadn't felt so guilty in his entire life.
Turning to look at Optimus who was watching the scene before him with disdain he turned angrily to Scavenger.
"Why would she do something like that?" he asked Scavenger while Luna snarled profanities and curses that would make the most rowdiestof Decepticons flinch.
"How should I know, probably because I just destroyed every bit of trust that she placed in me because you wanted me to bring her with me when I left the Decepticons!" he snarled at Optimus making him take a step back from the force of his words.
Optimus thought of these words a moment before starting to feel guilty. The girl had lived with the Decepticons for a couple of months and she was still alive and in good health and seemed to have suffered no trauma what so ever. She probably didn't fully understand what was happening to her at the moment.
Sighing he walked over to the cage with the angry girl and cassetteand picked the cage off of the ground bringing them up to eye level. Looking Luna in the eye he started to talk.
"Luna I presume? My name is--."
"I know who you are! I know who you all are!" she snarled angrily as she continued to pace back and forth in her cage. "I have watched you all fight before."
"Yes well, the reason why we took you away from the Decepticon is because we didn't want you to get hurt-"
"HURT!! YOU DIDN'T WANT ME WITH THEM CAUSE YOU THOUGHT I MIGHT GET HURT?! THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU GUYS YOU SHOT AT ME! WHAT IN YOUR RIGHT MIND MAKES YOU THINK THAT I'M SAFER HERE THAN AT THE DECEPTICON'S BASE?" Luna screamed at him jumping at the cage bars and trying to rake her claws across his face.
The Autobotswere taken aback by her outburst. Looking at each other they realized she was right. The first time they had seen her she was in the grip of Cyclonus and they had still open fired on him. If it had been one of the kids then they probably would have stopped to think of a better tactic to get them out of the Decepticons hands safely without harming them, but they had done nothing of the sort when attempting to uptain her.
"AND YOU!!" she screamed whirlingaround to look at Hot Shot. "I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE RESCUED! YOU KNOW THE REASONS AND YOU STILL DID THIS?! I HELPED YOU ESCAPE YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLE AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!? YOU WILL PAY DEARLY, JUST LIKE SCAVENGER, YOU ALL WILL PAY! YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!!" she screamed again as she and Buzzsaw attacked the bars with a vengeance.
Hot Shot had been standing in shock when he had first seen Scavenger and Luna and had just come to his senses when Luna yelled at him. Angrilyhe turned to Optimus.
"I told you that she was FINE there! They weren't hurting her at all and she was being taken care of, I told you that she didn't need rescuing! Why the slag didn't you listen to me?!" he demanded as he limped over to Optimus angrily. He had told him, told all of them that she was fine and here she was in a cage away from her beloved pack.
Optimus was shocked. Hot Shot had never shown him anything but the utmost respect and here he was yelling at him. "Hot Shot you know the reason why she couldn't stay with the-"
"That's a load of slag!" Hot Shot yelled. "What gave you guys the right to take her away? I told you what was going on with her family. I told you that the Decepticons were her pack. I told you NOT to interfereand what do you go and do? You take her away!" he yelled. Snatching Luna's cage out of Optimus's hands he tore the top of it allowing Luna and Buzzsawto fly out.
"Hot Shot what are you doing?" Optimus yelled. Luna and Buzzsaw who had been listening know knew that it wasn't his fault for any of this and landed on his shoulders. Luna looked angrily at Optimus and was about to speak when all of a sudden loud beating. Everyone stopped to listen to the sound when all of a sudden thousands of bats came out of the hallways and flying at the Autobotswho were trying to get them off.
Luna and Buzzsaw's senses were over written and their instincts took over. Beating their wings they followed the bats as they exited the base and returned to the underground caves before any of the Autobots could even figure out what had happened.
Luna and Buzzsaw hung from the ceiling of the cave they were currently occupyingwith the bats. They had learned that the bats had heard their screams for help and had come to their aid. Luna couldn'tbe more grateful. One of the bats in praticluarhad caught her eye. Her name was Diabla blanco. She was an albino with a wing span of about half the length of Luna's arm which was about 1 1/4 feet.
"So they don't like you because you're an albino?" Luna asked as she hung.
"Yeah," Diabla said sadly. "I don't know why, I mean , it's not like I have control of what color my fur is." she said as she rewrappedher wings around herself. Luna felt instant pity.
"You know, I know a pup that has the exact same problem as you do except that her coloring is the exact opposite." she said. "Her entire pack is either white or brown or somewhere in between but she's all black with blue eyes." Luna explained. Diabla looked at her in wonder.
"She's sad that her fur's a dark color?" she asked. Luna nodded.
"Her pack like I said is all bright colored. She's really different from the rest of them and they let her know it every day. Some crueler than others and she's the daughter of the alphas." Luna said. Diabla was in awe.
"So there's some one out there who is just like me." she said mostly to herself. Luna nodded before turning to Buzzsaw who was already asleep before she yawned. Rewraping her wings around herself she closed her eyes and was asleep within seconds.
Decepticon's Base
The Decepticons had searched everywhere for the young girl as soon as she was found missing a few short hours earlier. They had tried to track her threw Buzzsaw but that didn't work, neitherdid trying to contact her. Cyclonus had even gone to Earth to see if her grandmother had seen her.
"I hope she's alright, I'm getting really worried." her grandmother said as she sat on the porch drinking her tea as Cyclonus sat next to her staring at the ground sadly.
"Yeah, me too." he said. For the months that Luna had been staying at the Decepticon base she had become like a little sister to him and he would do anything to make sure that she was returned safely as would the other Decepticons who were all already feeling the effects of the young girls absence.
Megatron had become more withdrawn from his men, sitting on his thrown in the control room. He was even keeping himself from threatening to kill his men in the most painful ways imaginable for not being able to find Luna.
Starscream had almost gone off the deep end. He had spent the entire time on Earth flying threw the skies to try to find a trace of the young girl.
Demolisher had just become very quite and hadn't talked to anyone, not even Megatron. He was spending his time scanning different parts of the Earth trying to find Buzzsaw's signal and sending out communications.
Even Sideways was feeling the effects of life without Luna. Like Starscream he was on Earth driving threw the streets of human cities trying to find her, even a rumor of her, but like the other Decepticons, his search was turning up nothing on her whereabouts.
Cyclonus cycled air threw his vents as he arrangedhis legs Indian style and placing his face in his hands as he watched the sun go down. He hated to admit it but the Autobotswere right. Even though Earth was an organic planet with multiple pieces of dirt and dust getting into joints and under armor, it was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. Not that he would ever have admittedthat before Luna came into his life.
Cycling more air threw his vents he listened as wolves let their voices free into the night sky, circling high above, before they receded into the darkness. If only one of those howls were the cries of Luna. Depression began to settle over him like a blanket, wrapping around him.
Suddenly he felt a gentle hand on his leg and looked down to look at Luna's grandmother.
"Know don't you worry about a thing Cyclonus. If I know Luna she's fine and will bee back before we know it. She's old enough to know how to take care of herself and she has her instincts and Buzzsaw to guide her." she said with a smile before she turned around and headed into the house.
Cyclonus sat outside for a few moments before transforming and taking to the skies. 'She's right.' he thought. 'She knows how to take care of herself. By tomorrow she'll be safe and sound back at base and then I'll chew the slag out of her for making us all so worried.' he smiled mentally before warping back to base to get some much needed recharge.
Luna woke up a few hours later from Diabla poking her with a wing. It was night and an almost full moon was already climbing into the sky. Luna let go of her perch from the roof and flew out of the cave with the others, Buzzsaw to her left and Diabla at her right.
As soon as the moonlight touched her skin she felt as though she had the strength of 1000 men. Barrel rolling threw the air she laughed with pleasure. Again she was free, again she was under the loving rays of mother moon. Finally she stopped herself and asked, 'Okay, who the hell is mother moon? Why do I keep thinking of her?' shaking her head, she decided it would be best if she just ignored the situation for now.
Now it was time to hunt and get ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow she would have to go and pay her family a short visit, but that was okay, soon enough she would be back under the moon's beautiful light and she would never have to see them again if that was what she wanted.
And that was EXACTLY what she wanted.
